8 Pax in search of the perfect fitting Beefy T, 8.1.2019 @ Collins Aerospace
QIC: 5$ Footlong
Date: 8.1.2019
PAX: LazyBoy, Full Upright Position, Red Baron, DutchDog, Banner (WD), Red Sox, Iceman (WB), 5$ Footlong (QIC)
YHC, officially smoked from the Nantans (plural) homestead hammering at 0530, thought it would be a good idea to double down….leading a workout at Collins Aerospace @ 0640. (Check the Nomad Calendar for more future Collins Posts) Turns out a 20 minute commute to Collins after a WIB, isn’t the recovery time one might expect it to be…And it also turns out, a shirt soaked through with effort doesn’t dry in that time frame either….Who woulda thunk it?
Here is how the pax got up and down in search of the perfect fitting T-shirt, The EXTRA BEEFY T….Luckily Hanes Brands is right across the street…Here is what we found…
Warm-a-rama –
SSH ic
5 Burpees OYO, Findings inconclusive, too early in the workout for enhanced mumble chatter
Hillbillies ic
Grassgrabbers ic
Abe Vigodas in slow cadence
Arm Swirls Forward & Reverse ic
Mosey to Hanes, Across the street in search of something that would fit…
THE THANG –
The PAX found some bench stations on the Approx 2mile path that encircles the grounds and facilities at Hanes!!! Not quite the Extra Beefy T, had to keep looking.
On the Benches and the approx .15mile hill the Pax discovered partner work –
1 Pax ran to the bottom of the hill, stopping midway at a bench to perform (in increasing count) 1 Merkin, 1 Derkin, 1 Erkin, Then continued to the bottom of the hill at a Blue Lighted telephone pole (outfit with emergency call box) and performed (in increasing count) 1 Merkin, 1 Derkin, 1 Erkin, before returning to original bench to flapjack.
While Partner A completed the Merkin Mosey (Blue Light Special) Partner B performed the following at the Hilltop Bench in continuous succession until Partner A returned to Flapjack:
10 Dips
10 Squats
10 Step ups (5 Each Leg)
After 4 Rounds were through the hilltop pax completed their current set of 10 and planked up for the 6. Several Pax “enjoyed” the Left arm and Right Arm UP calls during the plank, as mumble chatter and midwife noises dramatically increased. Banner noting that getting to 10 derkins seemed daunting and glad the Pax was moving on…YHC definitely wanted Banner to get his monies worth though…more later.
The pax then moseyed toward the center of the Hanes Campus, still completely unfulfilled as the only thing they had found were some rather idiotically named shirt soakers.
YHC noticed a nice half wall on the side of the Hanes Building that would need to be investigated. The pax followed YHC over to the wall for a search, instead they seemed to find:
Peoples Chair w/ 10 Jack Reachers, Pax called and performed down the line….8 Pax = 80 Jack Reachers ic
The Pax then mounted the nearby curb for 10 Mike Tysons. Upon completion, Bear Crawled to the other side of the road for 10 Merkins in cadence.
YHC decided we should return to the wall for a second look, so the Pax lunge walked back and we found a Full Upright Position 30 count in People’s chair.
In “reward” for the Pax’s thorough search of the Hills at Hanes, YHC noticed the sun rising over the middle of a small lake that sits smack dab in the center of Hanes’ campus. What better reward for the pax’s search effort than “enjoying” a scenic overlook. There were some tall weeds and railing beside the lake that clearly needed to be investigated. The Pax found:
20 Erkins, in cadence, a real crowd pleaser; The midwife noises echoing off the lake and surrounding hills.
Feeling like time was running out for the search, YHC took the pax through to the only place left to look…a walkway leading to a center staging are in the middle of the lake. After a short mosey the Pax found benches at the staging area where they really found something special:
10 Derkins, in cadence….”The Moneys worth”….You’re welcome Banner!!! It’s yet to be determined by YHC, but its believed 0 pax fell on their face. With time running out, YHC called Omaha and the Pax mosey’d back to the launch location at the Collins Aerospace Visitor Circle, where only 5 burpees OYO were found.
Time was called, 0 Beefy Tees were found…perhaps we’ll have to go back and look next week.

YHC Took us out.
NMM –
While not finding any Ts the Pax handled the beatdown well. The partner work definitely helped keep the pax together through most of the effort.
- DutchDog crushed the plank post partner work, only shaking a moderate amount
- LazyBoy and Red Baron rolled steadily through the entire workout
- Full Upright Position can, in fact, perfect a 30 count and hold a people’s chair with sculpture worthy form.
- Iceman really lead the effort through the partner work, and executed diamond erkins at the blue light pylon…STRONG!!
- Red Sox brought YHC encouragement, with words of affirmation like “Burpees again?” and “Glad that’s over”
- Banner really cashed in on the lakeside Erkins and Derkins. Who could have seen that coming….
As Always it was an honor and a gift to lead this fine group of men through the workout.
